Amendment Description	ML Select Futures I, L.P. (the "Registrant") is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2016, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2016 (the "Original Form 10-Q"). This Amendment No. 1 pertains to (i) providing a paragraph in the notes to the financial statements regarding the liquidation of the Registrant, (ii) restating the financial statements for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2016, and changing certain computations, to reflect the liquidation basis of accounting, and (iii) management's re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures. The amendments are set forth in Part I, Item 1 (Financial Statements), Part I, Item 2 (Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations), Part I, Item 3 (Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk), Part I, Item 4 (Controls and Procedures), and Part II, Item 2 (Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds). With respect to the determination to restate the financial statements to reflect the liquidation basis of accounting, management re-evaluated the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures regarding the quarterly period ended September 30, 2016. The control to ensure key changes in the Registrant's status are timely communicated by executive management to financial reporting personnel did not operate effectively such that the information could be assessed as to its financial statement impact prior to the filing of the financial statements. The disclosure herein regarding management's re-evaluation and modification of disclosure controls and procedures constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). These forward-looking statements are based on the Registrant's current beliefs, assumptions and expectations regarding future events, which in turn are based on information currently available to the Registrant. Except as described above, this Amendment No. 1 does not amend any other information set forth in the Original Form 10-Q and the Registrant has not updated disclosures included therein to reflect any events that occurred subsequent to September 30, 2016, other than the subsequent event discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements regarding final payment to investors being made on January 10, 2017.
